This is why I am so afraid for my dd to go to school even for a short
period of time. How do you convince a 5 year old of this w/ out
"brainwashing" her or laying down the "there will be NO school" law. I always
said I would let her go if she wanted to but who woulda thought a kid would
want to go to school?
Big problem here? Everyone goes to school starting at about 2! The hs
group is mostly older kids and or very religious and my dd has heard some
things I do not wisjh her to hear. Nor do the other parents want their
children hearing what my dd may have to say at times. I could tell the
stories but it would get really lengthy them. Lets just say I was shocked by
a child's words and a parents.
